PrivateReviewed
Ordinary inference is not stored or used for general model or service improvement; persistence is customer-selected.
- Plan Scope
- OCI Generative AI inference and fine-tuning; project Responses, Conversations, files, memory, agents, and other stateful resources have configurable retention.
- Prompt Retention
- Oracle states ordinary model-inference inputs and outputs are not stored inside OCI Generative AI. Project-based agent and OpenAI-compatible resources can deliberately retain responses and conversations under customer-selected settings.
- Response Retention
- Stateless outputs are not stored; project artifacts and agent sessions follow feature-specific retention.
- Ordinary Logging
- OCI retains service, audit, metering, security, and resource metadata under Oracle Cloud terms without treating stateless prompt content as ordinary logs.
- Model Training
- Oracle states customer prompts, responses, knowledge bases, and fine-tuning data are not used to improve general OCI models or services.
- Product Improvement
- Customer content is excluded from general service or model improvement; operational telemetry remains available for cloud operations.
- Human Or Operator Access
- OCI says stateless input and output are not retained or shared with third-party model providers. Saved project resources and support material remain accessible under customer IAM and Oracle Cloud controls.
- Subprocessors And Routing
- OCI does not share prompts, responses, training data, or custom models with underlying third-party model providers such as Cohere, Meta, xAI, or Google Vertex AI.
- Deletion Controls
- Stateless content requires no deletion. Customers manage project response and conversation retention, files, memory, custom models, and Object Storage training data within their tenancy.
- Caveat
- The no-store statement covers ordinary inference, not newer stateful project and agent features. Verify retention settings whenever using Responses, conversations, files, containers, memory, or RAG.
